The final day of the 2018 Middle Atlantic Champs featured the 1500 free, 200 back, 50 free, and 200 IM. Jacob Narvid, a 15 year old, won the men’s mile with a 16:07.52. That time marks a 48 second drop from his previous best time of 16:55.67, which he had swum last month. That time drop is a little less jaw-dropping when taking into consideration that Narvid has a SCY 1650 time of 15:51, but is still huge time drop nonetheless. Narvid sped up his pace slightly throughout the race, starting by holding low 1:05’s for 100 splits, then moving into 1:04’s, and finally 1:03’s for his last 3 100’s.
Madison Kolessar, 16, swam a 17:13.21 to win the women’s 1500. That time also marked a significant time drop of 12.43 seconds from her previous best time of 17:25.64. Kolessar was pretty consistent in her race, splitting low-1:09 and high-1:08 100’s the whole way through the race.
Sean Faikish, 16, and Alec Peckmann, 19, had a tight battle in the men’s 200 IM, with Faikish coming out on top with a 2:08.81 to Peckmann’s 2:08.83. Unfortunately, there are errors in their splits, so it’s not possible to know how exactly they each swam the race.
